[QUOTE="Halivar, post: 1225674, member: 9327"] From the OP, it doesn't seem as if it's the domains that are the problem. This guy's group is having a problem with specific RP religions with named deities n' junk. I can see that. It just so happens that I and everyone in my gaming group are "conservative Christians" (if you had to apply strict secular categories to it), and we often invite friends from church, etc. to play with us. In our regular gaming group, we don't have a problem with using the D&D pantheon (after all, Tolkien had his "Illuvitar" and most Christian folk don't call Tolkien a satanist). But if I were, say, having over kids from the youth program at the church (which we often do) come over to play, I would allow free use of mix-n'-match domains and nameless "good" vs. "evil" clerics. Mostly this is because we don't want angry parents calling us up and yelling at us for debasing their kids. In the end, the D&D pantheon doesn't have a real big affect on our game (except that one time we had Bahamut show up and shower us with gifts... that was cool ;)), so removal of the pantheon altogether is not really that big of a deal. That is, if you're not playing with the BoED (*drool*). A little harder then. [/QUOTE]
